A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed against Blank Rome, a U.S. law firm, alleging failure to protect sensitive client personal information. The breach occurred in May, with hackers gaining access to data including Social Security numbers. This event underscores a rising trend of cyberattacks specifically targeting law firms across the United States.

Such data frequently includes financial records, proprietary business information, and sensitive details related to ongoing litigation.
